Dodge the Man with Anti-Surveillance Gear at the New Museum Store's Privacy Gift Shop

Andrew LaSane is a freelance writer from South Carolina who currently resides in Brooklyn. He spends most of his life connected to the grid, obsessing over and customizing sneakers, and trying to relive the '90s.

Artist Adam Harvey and fashion designer Johanna Bloomfield have created what they call "stealth wear," anti-surveillance products that hide heat-signatures, block cell signals, and perform other functions to keep off the grid. The products will be sold at a "Privacy Gift Shop" at the New Museum Store for a limited-time between August 28 and September 22.

Included in the stealth wear line is an "anti-drone scarf" that protects against thermal imaging software, the OFF Pocket Phone Case to instantly make your smartphone "untrackable" and "unhackable," a redesigned "I Love NY" tee with Optical Character Recognition-resistant ink, and a metal dollar bill that protects credit cards from Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) skimming. With this pop-up project the artist hopes to "bring privacy and counter surveillance ideas to a wider audience and engage in discussions about how art, design, and creativity can play a role in protecting privacy.”

The Privacy Gift Shop items will also be available online via newmuseumstore.org starting August 28.
